State Bank of India (SBI) on Friday launched 'SBI Mingle' through which its customers can now access banking services on Facebook and Twitter.

"Using SBI Mingle, the bank's customers can do a host of banking services on their Facebook or Twitter accounts at their own convenience," the bank said in a press release.

The new initiative was launched today by SBI Chairperson Arundhati Bhattacharya on the occasion of 61st State Bank Day.

"The bank has witnessed tremendous engagement from its customers on each of its social platforms for queries, information, advice and complaint resolution. Staying attuned to the needs of the Gen Y customer and collaborating it with innovative technology, SBI is in the process of offering a gamut of new digital services to the customers on the go," Bhattacharya said.

SBI, she added, is planning to introduce more services like request for chequebook, stop cheque, register for mobile banking, internet banking, SMS alerts and block ATM/debit cards on these platforms soon.
